"When I think of America for example (I've never been there), I think wide-open roads, a Burger-bar every 500 yards, and folk sticking on their shades to take a ride on their Harley. I don't even think about the history." In some spots of this country, that's about right. I grew up in the south (Tennessee) so you can kind of guess what kind of things that brings up! Yes, I can read and write (but not spell very well), yes, I wear shoes and no, I don't own any pigs. The history is there, but most people are ignorant of it, but it seems to be remembered in the south a little more than the north (I've lived in both), and that's only because of the War Between The States. "Ryder nude photographs; WHERE! WHERE! WHERE! (And how did you know of them - you old goat?)" I've seen them a bunch of places from time to time. I couldn't tell you exactly where, but they're around. I remember one black and white shot of her sitting in a bathtub...Um...maybe we should talk about this somewhere else... Re: Test Photos and DragonCon Pretty nice effect..and the filters, too! I haven't been to DragonCon in years and years. In fact, the last time I was there it was called The Atlanta Fantasy Fair, back in the 1980s. Anyway, interesting effect.
